No. 31 Luojia Lane.

The main hall is quite impressive. To call it the main hall is a bit of an understatement, as this room is like a large hall, with flying eaves, a multi-story building, a hip roof style, and two vermilion doors that open opposite each other.

"This was a royal palace in the past, wasn't it?" Yang Denghuan asked doubtfully, looking at the five steps.

"You guessed it right. This house was the residence of the King of Shu before. It has been idle since then. I want to take it over, renovate it, and use it as our office." Cao Youguang said as he was the first to enter the main hall.

After entering the door, I found that it had been divided into small rooms with various signs hanging on them, indicating the functions and departments, making it clear at a glance.

"This is your office." Cao Youguang pointed to an office with a sign with only the word "Han" on it and said to Yang Denghuan.

"Mine?" Yang Denghuan said as he pushed the door open.

The office is quite large and is divided into two rooms, one bright and one dark.

"It's not appropriate for me to occupy two rooms by myself, right?" Yang Denghuan turned around and asked.

"The person outside is Ah Qi, who can help you with some trivial matters. Your office is inside." Cao Youguang said with a smile.

"Where is your office?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"It's next to you, so it's convenient for us to communicate and discuss." Cao Youguang said.

Yang Denghuan looked up and saw a sign above Cao Youguang's office with only one character "一" on it. He smiled and said, "Okay, this character is good, it's concise and to the point."

Cao Youguang pointed to other offices and said, "There are various functional departments inside. Lao Liao and Yanwu are responsible for operations, Yansheng is responsible for intelligence, and Du Jianxi is responsible for confidential matters. They each have their own responsibilities."

"Where are Su Na and Wang Dazui?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"They are not members of the team. Suna only assisted in the capture of 'Shadow' and Wang Dazui cooperated with Suna. They did not participate in anything else." Cao Youguang said.

"You don't trust Suna?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"Do you trust him?" Cao Youguang glanced at Yang Denghuan and asked back.

"Suna speaks too much. It may be to highlight her role, or it may be for other reasons." Yang Denghuan shook his head and said.

"So that's why! We have to squeeze in to hear Suna talking!" Cao Youguang said with a sigh.

Yang Denghuan glanced around the office, crossed his arms, stared at Cao Youguang and said, "Come on, it's getting late and there are quite a few people here. Tell me the truth! What are you hiding from me?"

"There's no rush. When Yansheng and the others come later, we'll talk to them together. It would be too much trouble to talk to you one by one!" Cao Youguang said.

"You are a Suzhou man, what are you pushing here? Do you think it's interesting?" Yang Denghuan glanced at Cao Youguang and said.

Cao Youguang blushed and said awkwardly, "It's mainly because I've been in the north for too long, and some of my accents can't be changed."

There were footsteps outside the door, and Zhou Yanwu's loud voice was heard in the yard: "Lao Liao, why did you come just now? Didn't you have nothing to do in the afternoon?"

"The director gave us a temporary task and asked us to find someone, so we were delayed for a while." It sounded like Liao Hongwei was answering.

"Who is it? Have you found him?" Zhou Yanwu asked.

"The director will tell you later, so I won't tell you now to save my energy." Liao Hongwei said with a smile.

"Look at you, you're trying to keep it a secret from me!" Zhou Yanwu said with a smile.

"What secrets..." Liao Hongwei laughed and said, "The director and his team have arrived. I just saw his car outside. Let's go in."

The sound of footsteps quickened, and Liao Hongwei's loud voice came from outside the door, shouting "report".

"Come in! Old Liao, why are you being so polite to me?" Cao Youguang answered loudly through the door.

Liao Hongwei and Zhou Yanwu walked in one after the other. Cao Youguang pointed to a large partition with a sign for a conference room and said, "We'll have a short meeting over there later. This will officially mark the establishment of our first field team!"

Yang Denghuan was stunned and asked in confusion, "Wait, what does that mean? Isn't it called the 'Feng Feng Guessing Action Team'? Why did they change the name again? If they keep changing the name, can this be trusted?"

Cao Youguang laughed loudly, pointed at Yang Denghuan and said, "I told you a long time ago that there are other tasks involved, not just the 'catching wind and catching shadows' operation! Zhiwaiyi is a separate department of our bureau that is independent of other departments and is directly responsible to the director! The specific functions will be discussed later when Chen Yansheng comes over! Now you just need to know that you have already stepped into the confidential circle!"

When Cao Youguang said this, Ah Qi, Liao Hongwei and Zhou Yanwu all showed joy and excitement on their faces. They even looked impatient and looked towards the yard from time to time, as if expecting Chen Yansheng to show up soon.

"Secret circle? What does that mean? Is it a trap?" Yang Denghuan asked puzzledly.

Yang Denghuan's words made several people want to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh. They all looked at Cao Youguang. Cao Youguang was stunned at first, then pointed at Yang Denghuan and said, "You little bastard, you are always so troublesome. What trap is this? This is a confidential circle. It involves the confidential cases of our bureau, so it is handed over to us for handling!"

When Cao Youguang smiled, it was as if all the clouds in the sky dispersed. Zhou Yanwu and others all started laughing as well.

A timid voice outside said, "Excuse me, is this the first team of Zhiwai? The personnel department of the bureau headquarters asked me to report here."

"Come in!" Cao Youguang shouted loudly.

A head wearing glasses poked its head in through the door, then looked around before cautiously entering the room, standing by the corner, and asked weakly, "Is that Team Leader Cao?"

The man was not tall, had an honest and dull face, and wore a pair of glasses. The Zhongshan suit and leather shoes he wore were both issued by the bureau. He stood there and looked at Cao Youguang and others with some restraint.

Cao Youguang also looked at him. After a while, seeing that Cao Youguang still didn't speak, the man could only push up his glasses and stammered, "My name is Peng Zhenghui, deputy director of the first office of the technical department. The bureau asked me to come here to report to Team Leader Cao."

Cao Youguang's face immediately revealed a look of surprise. He stretched out his long right hand, walked quickly forward, and spoke affectionately, as if they were long-lost brothers.

"Deputy Director Peng! I've heard of your name for a long time. I thought you were quite old, but who knew you were so young. You are indeed a young and promising person!"

Peng Zhenghui was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Cao Youguang to be so excited. If he didn't cooperate, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"You're welcome. Director Cao, you're too polite." Peng Zhenghui half bowed and said quickly.

A few people exchanged polite greetings. No one asked when the meeting would start. Zhou Yanwu even pulled Yang Denghuan aside and kept talking to him, chatting about the past, and their expressions were quite intimate.

As he was speaking, Chen Yansheng's voice was heard from outside, shouting for report.

Although the main door was not closed at this moment, Chen Yansheng still shouted the report in a serious tone.

"Come in quickly, we're waiting for you!" Cao Youguang said with a smile.

Chen Yansheng walked in quickly, and Cao Youguang asked, "How is it over there? Where's Su Na?" "She was sent back. She's with Wang Dazui." Chen Yansheng said.

Cao Youguang nodded. At this time, Du Jianxi walked out of the conference room quickly, walked to Cao Youguang's side, and whispered, "Director, we are ready."

"Then let's hold the meeting in the conference room!" Cao Youguang said in a louder voice.

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the meeting room. Peng Zhenghui wanted to follow him, but when he saw that everyone was looking at Yang Denghuan with a smile, he also looked at Yang Denghuan, although he didn't know the reason.

"Let's go." Yang Denghuan nodded, followed Cao Youguang and walked over. When he passed by Du Jianxi, he smiled and greeted him, "Ah Du, hello! Long time no see, I missed you so much."

Du Jianxi smiled awkwardly and nodded quickly, but did not say anything. Several people walked into the meeting room quickly.

Cao Youguang sat in the middle, pointed to the right side and said, "Deng Huan, you sit here."

Yang Denghuan knew that the seat was very important in the first meeting, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a seating arrangement. So he did not hesitate to sit below Cao Youguang.

Yang Denghuan noticed that the person sitting opposite him was Du Jianxi. He was slightly startled. He looked in front of him and saw a triangle sign with his name on it on his desk.

Yang Denghuan looked around carefully and found that on each table there was a nameplate with a name written on it.

Obviously, the seats were arranged in advance by Du Jianxi.

In addition to the nameplates, there is a teacup in front of each seat. There is steam coming out of the cup, which is obviously freshly brewed tea.

All these tasks must be done by Du Jianxi. If this is the case, Du Jianxi should be equivalent to Zheng Lan's role, handling all the trivial matters for Cao Youguang.

In a sense, the second-in-command of this group is not himself, but Du Jianxi.

Everyone found their own seat and sat down. After a while, everything was ready and everyone looked at Cao Youguang.

Cao Youguang looked at everyone present with joy, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

I finally have my own team!

These people are the key to how far I can go in the future and whether I can move from the position of Director Cao to the position of Director Cao. They will play a decisive role.

Cao Youguang has always wanted to gain an important position in the Military Intelligence Bureau.

But unfortunately, all the important positions have been taken by others, so it is not easy to get something from a tiger.

Over the years, his level and rank rose little by little, and his position was promoted from team leader, group leader, section chief to director, but he still couldn't find a suitable position.

Cao Youguang was basically doing temporary work, such as leading a team to carry out an action or complete a plan. This kind of work seemed to have great power, but it was not long-term. Once the task was completed, all the transferred personnel returned to the team, and Cao Youguang was left alone.

The team I have now was developed when I was the director of the Jireliao Military Control Station!

If this continues, without a department that I can rely on in the long run, these people may eventually leave me.

Now, after being a daughter-in-law for many years, I have finally become a mother-in-law and have my own world!

Directly under the Field Operations Group 1, it may sound like just a small group, but it is actually a first-level organization created by Director Dai himself.

There are only three such teams in the entire Military Intelligence Bureau. They are directly responsible to Director Dai and have the same status as other departments. The three team leaders are Director Dai's trusted figures and are deeply trusted by him.

There are many rumors in the bureau headquarters that Director Dai’s core strength lies not in the various departments, but in these three groups!

Although these words are a bit exaggerated, they are enough to illustrate the status of these three groups in the Military Control Commission.

In order to raise the level of the three groups, Director Dai appointed the three group leaders as directors of the bureau headquarters. Although the positions were not so prominent, their levels were raised after all.

For example, Cao Youguang, in addition to being the leader of the first group of direct foreign affairs, also serves as the director of the barracks department of the bureau headquarters.

But after all, he is still the director, right? With this status, he can be on equal footing with Yu Duxing and others!
However, the power of these three groups is far beyond that of other departments!

It can be said that each group can be regarded as a mini version of the bureau headquarters, with almost all the functional departments of the bureau headquarters, but it has been downgraded from a department to a section! Although it has been downgraded, it can still easily complete independent case handling.

"These people are the capital for my future development. I must keep them firmly under my control." Cao Youguang looked at the people sitting on both sides of the long table with excited faces, and suddenly thought of Yang Denghuan and looked over.

Sure enough, Yang Denghuan looked calm, as if it didn't matter.

Cao Youguang coughed slightly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and his eyes were filled with eager light.

"It seems that everyone has heard about it." Cao Youguang spoke with a smile. Everyone had a smile on their face and no one spoke.

"As everyone wishes, I will be the team leader of Zhiwai Group 1!" Cao Youguang said lightly.

This news was being spread everywhere, but it had not been confirmed. When Cao Youguang clearly stated it, there was a cheer from the audience, and they all whispered to each other, and the voices of discussion became louder and louder.

Cao Youguang put his hands in the air, and everyone quickly stopped chatting and looked at Cao Youguang again.

"You are all my old friends, even Xiao Peng from the Technical Department, we hit it off right away!" Cao Youguang said jokingly in a relaxed tone.

Actually, what Cao Youguang said was not funny, but there was a burst of laughter from below. However, the laughter did not contain any sarcasm but was full of goodwill. Peng Zhenghui also laughed.

"So, everyone here has a seat!" Cao Youguang said loudly, waving his right hand vigorously.

Cao Youguang's words made everyone even more excited. Zhou Yanwu took the lead and applause immediately broke out from the audience.

"It seems that I was right in my guess. This is a distribution of power. In layman's terms, it is an arrangement of seats." Yang Deng thought with a smile, and there was some other meaning in his eyes when he looked at Cao Youguang.

"I will be the leader of this group, and Yang Denghuan will be the deputy leader. However, Yang's identity is kept secret for now, so you can just call him 'Deputy Leader Han'." Cao Youguang said loudly.

There was another round of applause from below. Except for Peng Zhenghui, almost all of them were familiar with Yang Denghuan. After hearing what Cao Youguang said, they all looked over.

Zhou Yanwu clapped the most enthusiastically, and both of his palms turned red!
"I am just in this position temporarily. After 'Catching Shadows' is over, I will go back." Yang Denghuan said calmly.

Everyone was stunned, the applause stopped instantly, and everyone looked at Cao Youguang.

Cao Youguang was also stunned. Seeing Yang Denghuan's indifferent expression, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you leave or not. We'll talk about it later!" (End of this chapter)
